my 4-year-old knows the lyrics to 'take it off' or: Ke$ha on the Today Show

I just have to say, this was of enough importance to me that I put off taking a shower, but not important enough to DVR. You see, Ke$ha would want me dirty/filthy and unable to go back to figure out what the hell just happened.

(amirite?)

I missed the first, oh, minute of 'Tik Tok' because I was brushing my teeth (...TRYING...TO...RESIST...MAKING...AWFUL...JOKE) WITH A BOTTLE OF JACK (/FAIL), but what I did see actually was a little bit impressive. She did not sound terrible. She didn't really sound good, but seriously, only like, Sarah Brightman and Celine Dion sound good in that kind of 'outdoor mini-concert' situation. At one point during 'Take It Off' she was clearly adjusting to find the pitch but she did so within a few beats and then stayed on key. I read somewhere that she can actually sing, and I will go on believing this until something happens (like, say, the Orange Bowl) that proves she is talentless and tone-deaf (Ashlee YOU HAVE OTHER TALENTS MAYBE?).

At one point, she was on her knees, bent over her little keyboard, looking for all intents and purposes like one of those sloshy, drunk chicks on GGW, before one of the camera guys jumps in and gives the girl a 'hand.' (By 'hand' I mean 'cock in the butt.' LOLZ!)

My mother watched, aghast, as Ke$ha did step-aerobic-inspired lunges and shimmied against her scantily clad (...gold hot pants) back-up dancers. Who were, we were probably all discomfitted to realize, men. Or at least, 18 years old. I hope.

...

ANYWAY. Ke$ha's outfit itself, fishnets, tall boots, glittery hot pants and grungy, cut-up shirt, played beautifully off her glitter-painted arms and face (DID SOMEONE GET PAID TO DO THIS? SERIOUSLY, IS SOMEONE GETTING A PAYCHECK BECAUSE THEY PAINTED DOLLAR SIGNS ON HER ARMS?). I mean that. She was dressed like a vagabond member of a Twilight-themed dance team. Also, can I just squeal, OUR NAILS ARE PAINTED THE SAME COLOR!!! I sound derisive, but I swear, I love Ke$ha. Her nails were painted black. Mine are painted black. I love you, Ke$ha. You get me.

The highlight of the whole thing, for me, was when Matt Lauer interviewed her briefly. The invisible thought bubble over her head read: 'HEH. HEH. HEH.' Matt treated her with the same interested equanimity he gives to actual celebrities (and which he apparently forewent with Lilo's mumsies), albeit looking slightly afraid she was going to do something that would sic the FCC on him. I sat there, holding my breath, waiting for her to grab his crotch. No such luck! She just smiled and answered his questions and looked a little spacey. Probably from the glitter paint fumes.

In toto, the whole thing was great, really, really great; a fun little Friday morning romp. But like all morning romps, it would have been a lot better if she had just grabbed Matt Lauer's crotch.

(You can disagree with me, but we all know it was better than whatever happened with the Jonas Brothers, going head-to-head on GMA.)

"Mon Soleil" - Ashley Park

If there's anything people take away from my piss-poor legacy, I hope it's what a huge, unabashed fan of "Emily in Paris" I am and will continue to be. People love "90 Day Fiancee," "The Bachelor," and other garbage - allow me "Emily," which is at least harmless, kind of goofy fluff (which does, unfortunately, lean into some stereotypes, as the country of Ukraine knows ). I have already watched Season 2 twice. And honestly my favorite part of this show (despite my crush on Camille Razart and Lily Collins channeling Audrey Hepburn hardcore ) is Ashley Park. This woman has superstar written all over her. She's a bona fide Broadway star, and "Emily in Paris" has served as her pivot into the zeitgeist.  "Emily in Paris" is also showcasing her vocal prowess front and center this season, with her covering BTS, "All By Myself," "Sympathtique," and Marilyn Monroe. But the real standout performance is th

Appropriate Holiday Gift Ideas for the Single Lady

While some people may see it as a drag, there are plenty of benefits to being single during the holiday season. During this time of the year, there are tons of parties you can attend that you may not have had the opportunity to if you were in a relationship. There’s also not as much stress on you as a single gal during the holidays because you don’t have to shop for your partner and extended family members  or  stress over where to eat Christmas dinner.  Not everyone sees the bright side of being fancy free during the holidays, and, tragically, they aren't afraid to let us single ladies know. Not only are single women subjected to even more harassment and ridicule during the holiday season, they’re also given the most obnoxious gifts by those who can’t comprehend how anyone can be both happy and single. Whether it’s a self-help book (desperately) trying to reinforce how great is to be single or the gift of a year-long subscription to Match.com , single women are presented with

Give JR a Break

Recently, I've been reading some sites that have criticized James Roday, the lead actor on the USA show PSYCH for an apparent weight gain. But you know what? Who gives a flying fizzle stick if James Roday is slightly larger than he was 4 years ago. Apparently, it wasn't enough to scare away his current girlfriend/ co-star Maggie Lawson. (Who is one hell of a Catch!) And NO they are not engaged. That seems to be nothing more than a rumor, but there is a very high chance of it happening in the near future. Anyway, as long as PSYCH continues to entertain I don't mind about James Roday's waist. He, and Dule Hill, and Corbin Bernson too, can eat all the fried broccoli they want. The last episode of PSYCH wasn't so smashing, but I don't blame it on dietary issues. QATFYG: Are you keeping up with Psych? And who is hotter, James Roday or Maggie Lawson? (Trick Question but idk why) PS: If you have heard any more news on Roday and Lawson becoming Roday-Lawson, send it
